For Immediate Release: To AHS Families and 9th Grade Enrollees for the Class of 2015,
Interest in Animas High School and demand for enrollment into the Class of 2015 next fall has exceeded every expectation. As Animas High School continues to grow and shine, it’s important for us to continually listen to the students and families in our community. To this end, Animas High School wants all students who are interested in AHS to benefit from our unique high school program.
We’ve heard your feedback! Due to the increased demand for enrollment, we are pursuing facility options that will allow AHS to accommodate all interested enrollees. As a result of these developments, the Animas High School Board of Directors has increased the 9th grade lottery target to 81 students.
Because of this increase in 9th grade capacity, the lottery has not yet been triggered and all current enrollees are eligible to register for Animas High School in the fall.
However, please note that if more than 81 students enroll by the end of the day on February 28th, (next Monday) the lottery will be triggered and will be held at 5pm on March 1st at AHS. Enrollees should expect notification from the School on Monday morning as to whether the school will be holding an admissions lottery.
Our goal is to not have to turn any interested student away from our school. We are honored to hear students and families expressing a strong desire to be a part of Animas High School. I thank you all for your continued support and encouragement as we work diligently to accommodate as many students as we can next fall.
